This link was sent to me.

At first a failed to see why. Further down the page, I discovered the reason.

I am uncertain as to what reaction this is meant to provoke.

More thought will be given later. Work calls.

Yes.

Except when she laughs, which is on purpose.

Let's see. I went for twenty seven people, each time I'd walk in, after spending a lot of time doing reconaissance minutes beforehand - by the third person I knew she was after me, and likely to try to show up - and my marks would be dead in the time it took me to walk through the door, mostly due to having lost their heads, or arms, or legs. Or hearts. I'd look around, and she'd let me see her, sometimes. She'd suddenly be standing seven feet from me and I wouldn't even notice, until she'd laugh. Funny how someone wearing BRIGHT RED can be so invisible.

Then she took that guy's heart out, and took my guns away, then gave it back so I could dispatch five guys who were interrupting my asking her out to dinner, and.....well, you probably know the rest.

So yeah, I'd say she's quieter than Batman. Bruce is a heavy breather. I hope he never drunk dials me and breathes into the phone, ever.

It just occurred to me that when I asked Elektra out, she had blood all over her hand.

Sexy.

But you can be the Queen of Stealth, too. Half the time I don't even know you're standing next to me, until you say something. Although now I recognize your perfume. You always smell good.

There was no doubt that she is impressive. I am finding myself hard pressed not to find out how impressive. It is almost instinctual now to test everyone who might be a threat.

I do not think that would go well for any concerned.

Thank you. I seem to be concerned with style. At times I wonder if it is vanity. That would not do.

You don't strike me as vain.

You strike me as poised, elegant, and confident, but not overbearing or arrogant.

*narrows eyes slightly*

You know how to say this to me and not make me angry.

It is a rare skill.

That's irony.

You are one of the very few people that don't react to me with default hostility and/or fear and/or immediate offensive aggression.

Get's me right here. *touches chest*

How's Shiva #1.0?

*looks faintly amused*

It is good it does not get you a little further left. *she points out a pressure point*

We seem to be fighting if you are looking to watch.

Way ahead of you, Shiva.

I have studied Asian martial arts for over thiry years, and I know pressure points pretty well. I used them occasionally. I know what it's like to get hit and be on the ground using colorful language for a while.

WHY do people think I'm just a punch-in-jaw-then-shoot kind of guy? Don't people know that LARP and SEAL training count for SOMETHING?

I swear, I AM going to hire a publicist.

I was attempting to be funny.

*frowns faintly*

It seems am not very good at it.

*stands there with that small frown on her face, apparently thinking

*grins*

You ARE funny.

Problem is, I'm so deadpan that I don't let on.

I'm laughing on the inside.

*looks up at you*

Ah.

I see.

*blanks the expression from her face*
